Using mIRC to download files with Opera

I recently downloaded the all new Opera 9.02 and loved it. I wanted to click a link for something I searched for on packetnews.com but when I clicked it, Opera's chat client came up. How do I set Opera up so that it will redirect these links to mIRC? I hate the Opera chat client and just want good ol' mIRC doin' the work. Is there a way to do this?

-Thanks

Hope it works, I love Opera too.
